IT might seem a little bit early to be thinking about Christmas just yet, but it doesn’t hurt to be prepared.
That’s exactly what one Asda shopper did when you spotted shelves full of bargains in her local store.
Posting in the popular Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, the woman showed her haul of goodies, including piles of cheap toys.
“Plenty left on the shelves great buys for Christmas 2024,” she said, alongside a snap of her trolley full to the brim with colourful toys.
She also shared some of the best bargains she picked up, including a Dino Rex for £3.65, Pokémon cards for £6.50, Learning boards for 70p, and even LOL dolls.
Not only that, but some items ended up being even cheaper than she anticipated once she got to the till.
The Polly bag was already reduced to £13, she noted, but it ended up canning for just £4.25.
And she also secured another great deal when the Pets Alive Panda scanned at the till for £6.50, rather than the already reduced price of £21.50.
The deals didn’t end there either, the mum added that the shelves were also full of Disney toys ranging from £3 to £4 which would be perfect for Christmas presents.
Understandably, other parents were stunned by her toy haul and couldn’t wait to see if they could find similar deals.
One commented on the post: “All great bargains!”
And a second agreed: “Great finds, well done you.”
Meanwhile, other users noted that they’re rarely so lucky when it comes to nabbing the best deals.
“There’s never any in mind, good on you though,” one said.
“Bargains I never seem to find,” another wrote.
Finding deals and offers can be tricky if you don't know where to look.
